PLAINVILLE, CT JULY 13, 2013: On July 13th, Nico’s Annual Lemonade Stand will raise more money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation this year. This is the 4th year that Nico will be setting up his table at the end of his driveway at 109 Northwest Drive in Plainville, CT. Last year he set a goal of $1000 and donations totaled over $5000. This was enough to send a wish recipient, his parents and grandmother to Walt Disney World. This year Nico has his sights set on $10,000. “I want to be able to send more kids and their families to Disney World”, says the young philanthropist.

Last year’s 3rd Annual Nico’s Lemonade Stand raised $5051 for the foundation by giving away lemonade, popcorn, cotton candy and cookies “The cookies were my idea,” says Nico Fasold, the 8 year old founder of the Annual Lemonade Stand. In three years, Nico has raised $5919 for Make-A-Wish helping children with life threatening medical conditions.

The Lemonade Stand started in 2010 when Nico went to his father, Kyle Fasold, and asked to have a lemonade stand. Nico chose to donate all proceeds to Make-A-Wish, “because it helps kids dreams comes true”.

The news of the 4th Annual Nico’s Lemonade Stand is being spread through friends, family, press and Facebook. You can visit Nioc's Annual Lemonade Stand on Facebook for more information, view photos from last year’s event and even donate.
